An eye-catching piece rendered in an iconic silhouette and lightweight blend, this original 1940's pistachio green skirt suit is the perfect piece for work or play.
The deep V shaped neckline of the jacket is edged with pointed lapels and a collarless nape. The strong shoulder line is accented by internally sewn shoulder pads. Her full length sleeves are edged with pointed turned up cuffs. The waistline is drawn in by a single pearlised button fastening, drawing the eye to the Princess seams that join the large side pockets beneath the waist. Her longline cut, sits perfectly over the simple waistband of the skirt. The straight-line cut of the skirt is set off by 6 panels, completing this suit in an iconic 1940's silhouette.
